shite like this is why no one likes you. You appear to have zero self awareness of when you are presenting your opinion in an abrasive and quite honestly douchebag-ish manner.

I said telling someone to oversalt their crawfish water (without any more context) is stupid advice. Why not tell them the proper ratio for salt to begin with?
If you want to make the point that it’s better to make the water over salty and, being mindful of this, check them earlier than normal because you may need to pull them early so they aren’t to salty, then I would understand that point. But no details such as these were mentioned in your post. So I said it was stupid advice.
It’s fine if you disagree, I never said you had to agree with me. Sub clarified what I assume you meant but didn’t say. And I agreed with him. Yall are the ones being abrasive.

A guy I know has a crawfish boil every year, I would guess its 2 sacks worth I'm not sure. He does 4 rounds of boil, each round he adds a bag of seasoning to the same water to slowly make it hotter. Now, I'll be honest I don't remember what he uses and it maybe a low sodium bag. I can't remember what else he adds. So TIFWIW its fairly worthless.
But my point is he keeps the same water and just adds seasoning. We maybe too drunk to care by the 4th, or they are too spicy to notice.
But I've never noticed them being too salty or any other issue.
I would think it would have to be incredibly salty to be too salty.

I'm low sodium so I make my own seasoning with 1/4 or less the salt most use plus add msg.
I also always avoid adding any phosphates so it's easier to just mix seasoning. I get bulk seasoningfrom the middle eastern market.

The key is knowing how much water is in your pot. Your typical seasoning blends are meant for 5-6 gallons of water per container of seasoning. People typically blindly add water to their pot not knowing how much water they're putting in. Fill a 5 gallon bucket and dump in pot, note how many holes up on your basket that is for future reference. If you tend to do more fill it again and notate where that 10 gallon mark is, then adjust your seasoning based on how much water you have in the pot. This is why people tend to say their 2nd batch comes out better because you're usually under-seasoning the 1st batch based on the amount of water you have in the pot.

General rule is add 1/2 the amount of the seasoning from the 1st batch into the 2nd batch. This is without adding extra water.
If you added extra salt in the 1st batch, skip it in the 2nd.

Advice so nice it needed to be posted twice.
I agree with every word, btw.
